[ Upstream commit bc355822f0d9623b632069105d425c822d124cc8 ]

If slots isn't with a topdown event then moving it is unnecessary. For
example {instructions, slots} is re-ordered:

$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

936,600,825 slots
144,440,968 instructions

1.006061423 seconds time elapsed

Which can break tools expecting the command line order to match the
printed order. It is necessary to move the slots event first when it
appears with topdown events. Add extra checking so that the slots event
is only moved in the case of there being a topdown event like:

$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

2427568570 slots
300927614 instructions
551021649 topdown-fe-bound

1.001771803 seconds time elapsed
